A couple of things. First of all, registration is now open for the Seattle meeting. Could you please let us know if you are planning on going to Seattle?
Registration is now open for the meeting of the Energy Frontier working
groups at the University of Washington in Seattle, June 30-July 3.
Relevant information is given at the workshop home page:
Second, as discussed, we will have a vidyo meeting this Thursday at 11 AM EDT/5 PM CERN. The indico for the meeting is given below.
Third, the outline for the Snowmass white paper is given below. Again, please volunteer to work on one or more of the topics below.
regards,Frank, Joey, John, Ken
(1) PDF's
(a) current knowledge and uncertainties
(b) likely improvements from LHC data, particularly precision Drell-Yan measurements
(c)PDF luminosities and uncertainties for 14, 33 and 100 TeV
(d) improvements from an LHeC (including alpha_s)
(2) Cross sections at 14, 33 and 100 TeV
(a)MCFM LO, NLO
-what cross sections to choose?
-what differential distributions to show?
-scale, PDF and alpha_s uncertainties?
-comparisons to BFKL predictions a la HEJ
(b)NLO, NNLO and beyond
-NLO extrapolation to higher parton multiplicities without doing the calculation, a la recent B+S paper
-improvements in NLO+PS, a la CKKW->comparisons
-Higgs(+jets) cross sections as function of energy
-importance of BFKL logs as a function of energy
Šperturbative series convergence for boosted final states
(3) Higgs+jets uncertainties
(a)resummation of jet veto logs->pointing to a new scheme for Higgs+jets uncertainties?
(b)importance of jet veto logs as a function of energy
(4) NLO QCD+NLO EW
(a)wishlist? putting current calculations together in one framework
(b)impact of the 'Sudakov zone' as a function of energy
(c)photon PDFs; importance of gamma-gamma processes as a function of energy
